The yellow pin is helping keep me on the diagonal.

OK, I am going to weave this on the diagonal. I am really-really sure that there are errors in my threading on the left side. But I am going to forge ahead and see just what I get. I am thinking that when in the 1800's a weaver only had so long to devote to getting a coverlet woven and on the beds before cold weather rolled in, she(he) would have not fixed her(his) errors, but kept going. With over 500 threads for this small width, I am sure she(he) would have said, "well - phooey". (or some such words) and got the job done. Or, maybe - just maybe, she(he) didn't notice the errors until it was finished (like me sometimes).

| See how I follow the diagonal? I only care what is going on with this line. The rest of the areas will take care of themselves. |

You know, back then, the lighting was really poor - they wouldn't have seen minor errors at all!
How many shafts are you using? And my tired brain says--so you are using these next 7 threads, then what shafts do youuse? Oh yes, I found plenty of loopers at Hobby Lobby today :)
Helen in snowy Wyoming.
This is a four shaft weave.
The threads are on shafts 1-3, so I lift shaft 2-4 to cover them. These threads tell me how many pattern picks I will do to make this block.
Aren't those loopers great choke ties!
